Cupid is a-comin’...

And you can kick your relationship up a notch with these fool-proof Valentine's Day gifts!
  1. Find me a girl who doesn't like jewelry and never needs to know what time it is and I'll find you an egg without a yolk inside of it. Michael Kors is the "in" brand for somewhat affordable designer bags, clothes, shoes  and watches. MK watches are fashionable and make for a great piece of jewelry, while also serving a purpose. Yup, after you KNOW she will know the time, you can give her a little more slack next time she's late. You just can't go wrong with this gift! In order to figure out which one you should go with, notice if she tends to wear more gold or silver. If she wears both almost equally, then a two-toned watch is always a good go-to when shopping.
  2. What better way to share all of your memories with the help of modern technology than with a digital picture frame? She'll love it and it will show her that you put a lot of thought into her gift, but it shouldn't take too much work.
  3. Tiffany perfume is my personal favorite and the only perfume I have worn since I was seventeen. I love that not many people wear it, so it's kind of my own unique scent.
  4. This is a romantic holiday, not a birthday or Christmas, so IOU's are great because you can show her how much you care for her in a lot of great ways.
  5. The word 'romance' comes from the French word for novel, roman. Back in the Middle Ages, men used to court their women by reading novels to them. How many of you guys got jipped from bedtime stories your entire childhood??? Most likely none! So why have us women been jipped from this lost art?? Promise to read her a love poem every night before bed along with a great pair of cashmere gloves, and she will be eating out of the palm of your hand!
  6. A woman always needs a great purse to touch up her sexy outfit with some class for the perfect combination. If you get her a clutch, she'll love using it when out for a night with you. Try this one from Diane Von Furstenberg because it can pretty much go with any outfit or dress.
  7. A couples massage is a great way to schedule a romantic day for just the two of you and then a night out on the town. Schedule one followed by a dinner date for this Valentine's Day weekend. You'll both be relaxed and it's a great way to connect. Use Spafinder to find your nearest spa and take advantage of some great deals!
  8. You can never go wrong with red roses. In fact, as long as you can afford it, you should be planning on sending these to her house or work the morning of Valentine's Day followed by your other gifts when you see her.
  9. I'm a huge fan of Edible Arrangements. It's such a cute way to send someone something in a different way. Chocolate covered strawberries are sweet and romantic. I love this arrangement as a great way to start her day at the office or home.
  10. This gift will be your favorite gift to shop for online...lingerie. Things to note while shopping for lingerie--A) she's wearing it for you so get her something you would like to see her wear. B) now don't take what I just said too literally because it has to be something she is comfortable putting on for you. You should know what her comfort levels are if you are intimate with her. I'm putting the link for Victoria's Secret here because they are affordable, sexy and classy, and you can find a VS store anywhere in the United States. However, if your woman is bigger than a size DD, she can't shop there. Check out myintimacy.com. It's difficult to shop for their lingerie on line, but you can call them and talk to someone about what it is that you're looking for in order to save any embarrassment you may have doing it in person. They will ship it for you if you call them.
  11. What couple doesn't want a romantic weekend away with one another??? Whisk her away for a weekend to a ski resort, island, or just a nearby B&B. I received some sage advice from a woman once when I was much younger, but I hope I can follow it when I have a family. She and her husband would go away once every other month and they were not allowed to talk about their children so as not to distract them from focusing on them and their marriage. They were one of the happiest couples I've ever met. 
  12. As mentioned earlier, a woman can never have too much jewelry! When it is a gift from the one we care about, it makes us think of you whenever we wear it. My favorite collection for bracelets is from the Honesty collection. To help you guys out, I am just listing my favorite store, Kristen's Place. If you call this boutique and mention my blog, they will arrange a triplet of bracelets and send them to you. These bracelets are great because they go with any outfit and you can wear them at night or in the daytime. 
  13. Home decors with a touch of fragrance are always a nice touch. Pottery Barn is one of my all time favorite stores and they have a great collection of these for you to choose from.
  14. If you really want to splurge, and want to WOW her this Valentine's Day, have her fall head over heels for you in a new pair of heels. Every woman loves a beautiful pair of heels, so why not give her something she can put on that night for dinner with you and will be raving about to every person she knows for years to come. You won't mind the view, either!
